About This Item
London: Chapman & Hall, 1954. 224 pp, small 8vo (7 1/2" H) - maroon cloth with gilt lettering on spine, top edge of textblock purple. "Would you - in peace time - kill a man to save innocent lives, if that was the only means by which those lives could be saved? And, if you did so, would it be murder? It certainly would be if, at the actual time you killed, you did not do so in immediate defence of yourself or someone else. (This book) deals with the trial for murder of Alec Morland, who is alleged to have been guilty of killing a man in circumstances of that kind." Light wrinkle at top of the spine, bequest bookplate of the actor Raymond Massey to his alma mater on the front free endpaper, small label from a bookstore on the rear pastedown, very slight lean to the spine, light browning to the fore-edge and the bottom of the spine. Dust jacket is not clipped (has original price of 10s. 6d.), has light edge wear/wrinkling; light rubbing; moderate browning to spine, rear panel and flap edges; soiling and rubbing on the rear panel; very small puncture and closed tear on the spine; a few watermarks on the inside surface of the spine and rear hinge, now protected in removable mylar sleeve.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good+.
